rainy days and wednesdays

it's so nasty outside right now. bad thunder. worse lightning.

my poor boss... he has a pretty sad life. he's constantly apologizing to his wife. especially if he's not exactly where she expects him to be at a certain time... "i'll be right down", "well i didn't know you were downstairs", "i was in a meeting" you get it. so today, he takes us out for christmas lunch. you can tell he had a certain amount allotted for this because when our waitress came up to ask if we wanted an appetizer, he interjected, "oh no, i think we're all ready to order". not that we weren't, but still. after lunch, she brought the dessert tray. quickly, he says, "oh, i think we're all too full, right guys? hyuck! hyuck!" as if! at least give us the option. anyways, the check comes and he tells her to put a certain amount on his debit card and the rest cash.

so we get back to the office and his wife calls (as she does every frikkin' half hour). apparently, she asked about lunch and he told her that he had to put some on the debit card. this is where the apologizing comes in. i guess she asked him why and he tried to keep quiet cuz i'm sure he didn't want us to hear. how embarrassing. geesh, woman! he bought us lunch. what did you expect him to spend? it's not like we had appetizers and dessert! can you imagine if we had???

i really wanna feel sorry for him, but he makes it hard. he's a total dork and not very likeable. i'm also guessing he gets no say about anything at home so he overcompensates at work. he really tries to be "the boss", but we're really not up for it. he's new, by the way. only here one year. my guess is he's gonna blow one day and it won't be pretty. another guess would be to say i'm the one that's gonna push it and probably be fired in the interim. i'm sure HM's wishing for the latter.

p.s. it's now flooded outside and i have to walk home in this.
